Everyone's focused on TikTok’s 75-day extension.

But that’s not the real story.
The real story?

The U.S. just gave tech founders a short window to prepare for a much harder market.

Founder / CEO - FanTV, love Web3 ethos, established Web2 Founder, largest music streaming app India (175 mn+ users), Produced 250+ songs with 15 bn+ streams

Founders, this is your “hall pass” moment.

You’ve got a window, before the market resets expectations, before user acquisition costs explode, before global sentiment shifts.

Use it wisely.

This isn’t the time to chase vanity growth.
It’s the time to:

– Build with margins
– Focus on retention
– Prove out monetization early

The buffer is shrinking. The bar is rising.

You’re not building in 2021 anymore.
You’re building in 2025.

Different game.
Different rules.
Same goal: survive, then win.

New tariffs are coming.
Advertising budgets are tightening.
And Big Tech might finally admit it:
Growth won’t come easy this cycle.
